A digital drawing of two characters from the chest up. Esmé (left) has blue skin, long white hair in a braid, orange eyes, black sclera. Xe have a neutral expression and are looking to the left. Sevyn (right) has greyish-blue skin, short black hair, short facial hair, purple eyes, black sclera. Xe are looking to the right and smiling. Both are from Diah's backstory; they are a nonbinary/ambisexual species so I thought it would be fun to use neopronouns to indicate in their language they just have one gender neutral pronoun :^) Diah also uses xe/xem pronouns as a child. Esmé is one of Diah's parents, and Sevyn is Diah's school teacher and later research mentor. Both of them are historians/anthropologists and they're from a fictional island in the Mediterranean. In this drawing they'd be in their (human equivalent) 30s.
Rare event: I not only draw, but also color, some side characters. A little more info on them in alt text :^)

A watercolor painting of my characters from a comic I'm working on titled Best Savored After Dark. The painting shows a scene in a coffee shop in fish eye perspective. In the foreground is Aaliyah; she is dark skinned, has her hair in box braids that are dark brown with pink tips. She is wearing an orange and yellow bandana, a white T shirt, and a tan and green apron. She is standing at the back of a coffee shop counter holding an empty cup and reading toward a blender. She is looking behind her and to the side at 3 characters in the background. In the background there are three characters. One, Lance, is also standing behind the coffee shop counter with Aaliyah. He has light skin, brown hair, and is wearing a red sweater, gray pants, and a tan apron. He is reaching toward an espresso machine. Two other characters, Beck and Nayeli, stand on the other side of the counter. The background is framed by blurry yellow lights
I was trying to put every art thing I've learned in 2025 into one painting 🥹 This is also my first traditional OC art and first more complete art piece with them. Aaaaaaaaaaa

An ink and watercolor illustration of my OC Beck. They are sitting in and framed by a trapezoid that narrows near the top. They have four arms; two arms are raised above their head with their palms turned upward, the other two arms are raised to the bottom sides. Their head is turned in toward their right upper arm and they are looking to the right of the viewer and sticking out their tongue. They are wearing a black crop top, black mesh top, baggy black pants, and have various piercings, jewelry, and tattoos. Image was scanned and digitally adjusted for clarity. The drawing and background are done with dip pen, paint brush, and ink. The character is colored with watercolor. On hot press paper.
Ending the year on my new favorite painting thus far really is the way to go 💚🔥

In the drawing on the left they are standing with one foot forward with one hand on their hip, one behind them, and the other two cannot be seen. They are smiling. In the drawing on the right they are sitting cross legged and framing their face with their hands.

(read right to left like a manga), a comic page. The first panel shows Aaliyah looking up at something in the sky, there is sfx that say, "WOOOOOO". The second panel is Aaliyah's keys dropping. The third panel shows her empty hand trembling. The fourth panel shows Aaliyah looking up, facing the left, with a terrified expression. The fifth panel shows her falling to her knees into some grass. The sixth panel shows the keys that continue to fall. The seventh panel is completely black. The eighth panel is the keys hitting concrete ground next to Aaliyah leg with a "thud". Behind the panels there is a black gradient, rain, and sfx that say "fshhh"
Posting a little sneak peak of chapter 1 because I'm so proud of this page 😭🫣
